EUMETNET
C-SRNWP
Programme
Report 2007-1: January - March
Main point
The main
work of the Programme Manager (PM) has been related to the redaction of the
four Programmes Proposals by the respective "Redaction Committees"
(see Quarterly Report 2006-4). With these Committees, the PM had intensive
exchanges and wrote the first draft for two of these Proposals.
Proposals
have been drafted for the four following Programmes:
- Enlarged SRNWP Programme from
January 1st, 2008 (third phase of the SRNWP Programme)
- Interoperability between
the four SRNWP models and the four global models driving them
- Common verification for and
intercomparison between the four SRNWP models
- Operational European
LAM-EPS, also as contribution to THORPEX TIGGE-LAM
Three of these four Proposals
have been sent to the EUMETNET Secretariat March 15 and have been discussed by
Council at its 30th Meeting (12-13 April in Aberdeen).
The Proposal for a Programme
on "Common verification for and intercomparison between the four SRNWP
models" has finally not been submitted, as the Redaction Committee was not
convinced that it was a good proposal. The main reason was that - due to
shortage of time - a thorough discussion on the basic issues has not taken
place.
